The Spartacist League finally wakes up, condemning the COVID lockdowns (which they apparently supported initially). Obviously, I don´t support a crazed ultra-left sectlet, but the Sparts at least understand that it´s a *little* difficult to have "mass struggles", let alone a "socialist revolution", if...well, the government lays you off and locks down your working class ass in a non-rent controlled environment. Funny the rest of the "revolutionary" left doesn´t see this, lol. How you can have a political revolution under Jaruzelski is still, alas, less clear...
I like the way these small groups ALWAYS must include "Reforge the Fourth International" in any article about any topic. Sparts in 1350: "Down with the Black Death! Reforge the Fourth International". Sparts when commenting on the plight of the bumblebee: "Reforge the Fourth International". Sparts when commenting on broken traffic lights: "Reforge the Fourth International". Sparts when Nina Hartley´s porn movies no longer make a profit: "Viva Nina! Reforge the Fourth International".
ReplyDeleteI mean, if they forget to put it in there somewhere, the IG, BT and IBT might accuse them of "opportunism", so here we go again...
ReplyDeleteThe Sparts still believe in vaccines, though.
ReplyDelete"While Marxists support certain state-enforced public health measures beneficial to the working class, such as mandatory vaccinations, it is suicidal to rely on the state to protect health and safety."
I´m surprised. We´re talking about a group which wants to legalize essentially everything, from paedophilia and cults to smoking and drugs. Why should vaccines be "mandatory" for this quasi-libertarian group? If you are allowed to smoke like a chimney, why do you have to take an unsafe vaccine?
Reforge the Fourth International!
ReplyDelete"The lowest layers of the middle class are being devastated. The criminal support of labor leaders and all the reformist left to the lockdowns has ceded the ground to the far right, allowing sinister reactionaries and outright fascists to posture as defenders of democratic rights and champions of the ruined petty bourgeoisie."
ReplyDeleteYou don´t say.
For the record, I´m for "soft" lock down measures, single payer health care and SAFE vaccines, not the shit we have now. You know, voice of reason and all that old fashioned stuff...?

ReplyDeleteCan I be blunt? Or at least blunt-ish. At this point, drinking HCQ and Kool Aid, taking Sputnik Russian vaccines up your ass, or do Kundalini Hatha Yoga is probably safer than taking AZ vaccines, what a fucking DISGRACE to modern science. OK, I said it, there! And no, I´m not into conspirituality so you have nothing on me, pancho.

ReplyDeleteYou have to follow the law in your jurisdiction, of course.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness I live in the Swedish jurisdiction. I can even visit the local zoo and watch the brown bears, I mean, what the fuck.
ReplyDeleteREFORGE THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL
ReplyDeleteWhy "reforge"? I assumed the Spart slogan was "rebirth". Or does that sound too superstitious? Like a virgin birth, de novo, ex nihilo, sui generis. "Reforge" sounds like a virile working class god in a forge, forging a hammer and a sickle, with which the Red Army can smite their class enemies. Yeah, that´s it.
ReplyDeleteBut how do you say "reforge" in Swedish? "Återsmida"? Sounds weird. Återsmida Fjärde Internationalen? Nah, can´t work.
ReplyDeleteFjärde Internationalen måste ÅTERSMIDAS till ett VAPEN i bolsjevik-leninismens tjänst, må proletariatet göra detta i Vulcanus smedja, allelujah!
ReplyDeletePosadistas go full crazy, endorse US military report on UFOs, our answer must be REFORGE THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL
